Not that I disagree with you, but: > up for on .. is regionally specific. e.g. in some places, you turn on lights in a house by flipping the switch down.

- pjerem 3y agoIn my house, it’s random. Not because there is no standard around here (I live in the EU, The Holy Land Of The Mandatory Standards) but because it looks like the previous owners didn’t care enough. More seriously, it also depends if there is only one switch for the light. If there is two nothing makes sense anymore and if there is more, you are forced to use a relay so switches become one state buttons.
- Izkata 3y agoI didn't know anyone had any standard until a conversation on here where it came up a year or two ago. Every place I've lived had two switches somewhere (both ends of a hallway, both entrances to a room, etc) so I never internalized any directionality for switches - it's just always been "flip the switch if the light is in the wrong state". One or two of the switches I've had have even been sideways.
